The place is in quiet area in the middle of the nature, you can hear birds song all day long, The house is quite big, old and well maintained by its owners Caroline and Robert. They are good people, breathing example for some of the values are lost nowadays. The house, rooms and bathrooms were extraordinary clean, having everything that you might need. Caroline was always available for questions and has well thought every single detail in the house which was quite impressive. Robert made us breakfast and was flexible to move the time of the breakfast for earlier considering we had to live early. His omelette is original, must try, Consider there are shared areas and you have to interact with rest of the quests in the house in case you want to use them.
You can hear noise rest of the house, which was not a problem for us.

I liked that they allowed dogs. I also thought the hosts were very friendly, and we had amazing breakfasts from our French chef Robert. I must say the quietness was great. The bed was extremely comfortable. It was amazing in the morning when we had breakfast. All the birds and even an owl had their breakfast along the railing.I would stay there again without hesitation. The price was great also we stayed for 3 nights.

Honestly, I liked everything - I was blown away. From beautiful French crepes in the morning while watching rainbow lorikeets feed and gazing at rainforest views, to beautiful three course Mediterranean candlelight dinners, it was extremely romantic. The hosts Caroline and Robert treated us with so much warmth and hospitality, so much that we felt we had met friends and mentors in our life’s journey. It rained the duration of our stay, but that simply added to the tranquil energy, and watching rain over the tropical foliage while tucked in a cosy, delicately decorated room was the getaway we needed. We will be back!

It was a very nice stay. Friendly staff with unique breakfast with variety of home made jams (which were for sale to take) while enjoying the surrounding nature. Nice French style facility and enjoyed our stay there. Would definitely book there again. Did not have a chance to experience the swimming pool, but it looked great.
Hardly anything negative to report

Location was close enough to town and highway but also in the bush. Its a lovely house in a rural setting and our hosts were lovely. The pool was beautiful for a morning swim. Breakfast each morning was sensational.
Better wifi would have been nice and I told Caroline this to which she replied that Starlink was being installed that week so future guests will be happy with the internet.

The people who run, Caroline and Robert, are SO lovely. We felt very well looked after and their commutation before and during our stay was great. The French breakfasts, prepared by Robert, were delicious. Next time we'd love to take up the option to have dinner there too! The natural rainforest surroundings are very special with lots of native wildlife meandering through the property and birds visiting the deck around breakfast time.

Amazingly quiet and peaceful location still only several mins drive into town but feels a million miles away! The breakfast was delightful and we highly recommend the three course dinner from the live in French chef! Five star rating for a unique piece of Australia and a very private secluded room with lovely decor and beautiful staff. Thank you so much we will def be back!

The property was beautiful. Getting to see the birds and the rainforest views, while being served a delicious homemade breakfast, was truly magical. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and a joy to be around. Would definitely recommend as it was the perfect way to get away from the city and enjoy the tranquility of the rainforest.
A bit far, but nothing unmanageable.

The breakfast and food was really great. It was delicious and fresh and lots of home made jams. Love the fact that they allow dogs in the facility. Love the beautiful birds that come to feed. We liked having a heater in the room as it got colder overnight. Caroline and husband where very kind and friendly.
The private bathroom was separate from the room. The beds were old. The slats of one was falling, the head board/base of the other was moving. The light cover was cracked and chipped.
